Burnout Paradise Review from Gamespot

Burnout Paradise includes all the fast-driving, hard-wrecking action you'd expect from a Burnout game, but with a fantastic new open-world design that gives it its own stand-alone flavor.

The Good * Racing and wrecking is as thrilling as ever * Open-world design creates a great sense of destructive freedom * Showtime mode is a hoot * Online functionality is seamless and addicting * Superb visuals.

The Bad * Could have used more variety in race and event types * Soundtrack and DJ dialogue are awful * Early in the game, you'll probably be a little confused and overwhelmed by the whole thing.

Another great score for this incredible game. 9/10 from: EGM/1UP, EDGE, GameSpy, GameSpot...

Also, it was reviewed by Alex Navarro, the best writer of GameSpot. This could be his final work though I thougth he had left earlier. Maybe this was written earlier as well. Still, all 3 of the game, review and reviewer ROCK.

sorry about that, there's a new feature when you submit reviews where you have to enter the score; I thought that it would then actually display the score and that including it in the title or description would be redundant.

I have to disagree with both of you. Both Burnout and GT are kings and both of them RULE. Seriously, they are beyond different (One an arcade racer and one driving simulator). Together they are perfection.

Burnout 3 used to be my favourite arcade racer, but I can't say that anymore after experiencing MotorStorm. Its sense of speed, combined with the wide range of totally different vehicles and crazy tracks set it apart. The demo of the latest Burnout was a disappointment to me. I hate the time wasting and no fun open city.
